Madam45for2923 brought to my attention that I had posted 9,999 posts and she said

"Almost 10,000 posts! make it an awesome one!" What a challenge!

I am one of the firsters...and perhaps one of the firsters to be banned?

I joined after bush v Gore...thought the 'underground' portion meant we were going to do something???evil???

Which brings to the fore...why I was banned...I accused Will Pitt (then deciding if he should leave teaching and become a pundit) as a traitor, as he was NOT suggesting anything nearing the overthrow of the new bush regime, but instead was 'looking ahead'...boy was I mad!

I got banned and searched the entire internet looking for something that resembled DU...after a month or more of searches (this was when chat rooms were popular) I could not find anything nearing the satisfaction I received (even without the overthrow thing) I got from this website.

As you can tell, I am not a prolific poster. I mostly respond, and seldom start threads...there are much smarter folk to do that.

I recently viewed my own profile and it says 'Since 2/11/2005 @ 2:08 AM...probably drunk...but??? I don't recall being banned the second time (probably drunk) so that may be why my profile shows me joining in 2005.
